Jamaica To Toronto: Soul, Funk and Reggae 1967-1974 featuring Jay Douglas (of The Cougars) with The Mighty Pope, Everton "Pablo" Paul and more! In 1963, the flight from Jamaica to Toronto was 8 hours. Today it's 3 1/2. Countless people have made the dwindling journey over the years, but in the sixties and seventies there was a new breed of traveler: the finest ska, rocksteady, and reggae recording artists theWest Indies have ever produced. We're talking Studio One, Treasure Isle, Trojan, and WIRL veterans. Arriving in their new Canadian home, these talented singers, songwriters, musicians, and performers simply did what came naturally to them. One by one, they hit the studio and captured some of the hardest tunes this side of Kingston.
